AN APPEAL FOR AID.
Titz Gerald Wants One Thousand Apiece
From Five Thousand Wealthy Irish

Titz Gerald Wants One Thousand Apiece
From Five Thousand Wealthy Irish
men in America.
LINCOLN, Neb., November 12.-John Fitz.
gerald, President of the Irish National
League of America, has issued a special
call supplementary to that recently issued
by Treasurer O'Reilly of Detroit. Presi-
dent F~itzgerald's call is addressed to the
wealthy class of the Irish race in America
for a generous effort in aid OF the Irish
cause. In this call Mr.. Fitzgerald says:
If it were England that cries aloud for
the assistance of her exiled sons, within
thirty days one thousand Englishmen could
be found in America who would not hesitate
to subscribe a thousand dollars EACH. We
have five thousand Irishmen and Irish
Americans who could do the same and
Ireland on her knees and in chains begs for
that financial aid, without which she must
die" President Fitzgerald then makes a
passionate appeal for the necessary aid and
referring to the roll OF honor mentioned by
DR.. O'Rei'ly in his call says: "Must this
roll contain but the mass of the Drawn
workers, who have for years given all of
their scanty time and means all that has
been asked for by Ireland in her long and
weary fight?" He adds: ireland asks
from 1000 Irishmen and Irish-Americans
on this continent from $500 to 81 900
apiece. Providence having given me means
to respond to this call, and being DESTROYS
to do myself that which l expect from
Others, l enter my name upon the roll for
$1,000" Remittances may be made either
to DR.. O'Reilly or President Fitzgerald.

AROUND BUTTE.
A NEW COMPANY.

Organized In Butte to Handle the Safest
of all Explosives-The Montana Rack.
arock Powder Company Bid for the
Trade of the Northwest.
In this issue of The MINER, appears the
advertisement of the Montana Rackarock
Powder Co., which has been organized to
handle the wonderful explosive, Rack.
arock, throughout the Pacific slope.
Though Rackarock is as yet comparatively
new to many Of the Western mining dis.
tricts, it is not a ne explosive, but has
been used for years in the Eastern States,
Europe and Australia. It is manufactured
in New Jersey, and there is a large demand
for it in Europe and Australia, because OF
it's great superiority over other explosives
in safety and freedom from offensive quail
ties. In choosing an explosive for the great
blast at He'll Gate, the United States en-
gineers subjected all those on the market
to severe and exhaustive tests, in which
the superiority OF the Rackarock was SO
clearly demonstrated that it was selected
and used there with a success that has
become historic. Rackarock is COM
posed OF two ingredients, which are not
mixed until required for use, and which
cannot possibly be exploded separately.
After mixture the explosive is still safer
than than any other, for it requires a cap
OF quintuple force, while / .others can be
exploded with a triple force cap. Being
absolutely safe in themselves, the two in
gradients OF rackarock can be transported
by freight or express the same as mer-
chandise. and stored anywhere, thus avoid
ing the expense of building powder houses,
or vaults. 1t was partly on this
account that it was chosen n Hail. Gate,
as large quantities could b. stored in New
York, and are stored there now, within a
block OF the postoffice. Among it's other |
good qualities are it's freedom from often
sive tunes, so that it does not make men
sick; it does not freeze, and is rs stron, as |
any nit%ro-glycerine powder made. All these
facts it strongly for use in the
mines OF the Northwest, and when it comes |
into general use there will he a great de-
crease in fatalities.

The Reason Why.

Detroit Free Press: One of the 100 citi
zens who beat their messages over the tele
phone walked into a place on Congress
street yesterday, bowed suavely to tn.
occupant OF the Office and walked directly
to the telephone.
He rang the bell for the central and be
gan:
Hello, Central! Hello! Hello! Hello
No answer came and he went over the
same ground twice. Then he seized the
crank and rang the bell for two long min.
utes. No answer. He had just finished an
other turn at it when the proprietor looked
up and asked:
"What is it,"
"Why, l can't get the central"
"Of course you can't. The wires were de.
tached six months ago, and / don't see WHY
they don't come and take their telephone
away"
The stranger seemed to want wings to get
out OF that place.
